10 BERGMAN ISLAND DIRECTED BY Mia Hansen-Løve
It’s hard to think of a better film about the process of creating art from a pointedly female perspective than Mia Hansen-Løve’s gently reflexive wonder, Bergman Island. Vicky Krieps – fast rising as one of the earmarks of quality moviemaking – stars as a loose MH-L avatar taking a writing retreat to the island of Fårö – a spartan idyll that Ingmar Bergman called home. It’s a work that exudes confidence and poetic insight from its every precisely-calculated frame. DAVID JENKINS
